    To most ears, this late-night, whipcrack-sharp chooglathon, finally unveiled, sounds astounding. What were they like on a good night? [Sep 2019, p.107]

    Throughout their hour-long set, CCR sound ferocious, tearing through their hardest material, playing "Born on the Bayou," "Green River," and "Bootleg" with a nasty edge. The hardness of their choogle is a bit of a revelation, as the band sound fiery in a way that they don't on any of the officially released Creedence live recordings.

    The recording is great, Fogerty's in fine voice throughout, the hits keep coming, and when the band slip into those chugging grooves they're emphatically fierce.

    The remastered audio captures each instrument with surprisingly sharp and clean separation which makes this sound better than what an exhausted, rain-soaked, mud covered audience experienced hearing it live.

    While it lacks flashiness, the 11-song performance is both raw and cooking, reminder of the country-rock/swamp-blues power that's moved bands from The Black Keys to White Denim. [Oct 2019, p.45]

    This album is mean. Full of hits that are a swamped in Americana and a sound that is frankly intense. Honestly I just recently went back andThis album is mean. Full of hits that are a swamped in Americana and a sound that is frankly intense. Honestly I just recently went back and discovered the amazing and short catalog of this iconic band, only previously knowing the hits that have seemed to just be. Wild that this amazing raw performance was only probably known to those awake in the middle of the night during that crazy weekend until very recently.… Full Review »
